Swirl‚ bob‚ drift and plunge! Access to the fantastic on–site waterpark‚ which is free to hotel guests‚ is sure to make what was a great holiday even better. Opened in 2011‚ the Caretta Beach Waterpark has something for the whole family; there¿s a choice of exciting slides for teens and younger children alongside a wave pool‚ lazy river and splash play area. With excellent facilities‚ entertainment and our own KidsWorld EXTRA club you can understand why it¿s one of our top selling family hotels.
Why choose Caretta Beach
Close to the beach, the Caretta Aparthotel offers lots of splash for your cash, with seven swimming pools!
Located on the outskirts of beautiful Kalamaki, the popular Caretta Beach rises from perfectly landscaped grounds, not far from the resort's decent beach. The hotel is perfect for those seeking a restful break, situated as it is, just a shoort stroll away from the restaurants and bars of Kalamaki - itself just a short drive away from livelier Laganas. The hotel is set back from the main road, and has - unbeliveably, but true - seven swimming pools. And they come in all shapes and sizes - from perfect circles, to curving free forms. And they're surrounded by lovely terraces (beautifully illuminated at night), and strikingly designed gardens.
Children will love the sunny playground complete with climbing frames and slides, and you'll no doubt appreciate the two whirlpools, the three bars and the lively evening entertaiments programme. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, and restaurants offer exciting takes on traditional Greek food, and, occasionally, you'll have a lively Greek chorus and dancers to accompany it too!
